The type of sand is also important. The right ratio for a mixture of cement and sand is 1:5 to 1:6

You will need about a bag of cement for this project. You will also need around 0.15 cu.m of sand.
1:5 (cement:sand) is the best ratio

Seven parts washed grit sand to one part cement. The grit gives it it's strength. If you use building/plastering sand it will crack.

A thickness of 10-12mm is used for the plastering and a mix ratio of (1:4) cement and fine sand is used well finished with a wooden float.
The ideal ratio for a sand and cement mix for a strong and durable concrete foundation is typically 3 parts sand to 1 part cement.

7 Parts sand to 1 Part portland cement
1:5 (cement:sand) is the best ratio
The ideal ratio for a cement-sand mix to achieve optimal strength in a construction project is typically 1 part cement to 3 parts sand.
Sand and gravel together
The ideal cement and sand mix ratio for optimal strength in a concrete mixture is typically 1 part cement to 3 parts sand. This ratio helps ensure a strong and durable concrete mix.
The recommended sand to cement ratio for optimal strength in a concrete mix is typically 2:1. This means using two parts sand for every one part of cement.
